Across
  1. 5. where plates collide; also known as the destructive boundary
  2. 6. a large volcano with gentle slopes of basaltic lava that is common along divergent plate boundaries and oceanic hotspots
  3. 7. a break in the Earth's lithosphere where tectonic plates meet
  4. 11. a vibration in the ground that results from movement along breaks in Earth's lithosphere
  5. 12. where plates spread apart; magma rises to the surface and hardens forming new crust
Down
  1. 1. the point on the Earth's surface directly above where an earthquake originates
  2. 2. the point within Earth where an earthquake originates
  3. 3. where the plates slide sideways; lithosphere is not created or destroyed at this boundary
  4. 4. large, steep-sided volcanoes that result from explosive eruptions of andesitic and rhyolitic lava and ash along convergent plate boundaries
  5. 8. a fast-moving wave of seawater caused by seismic activity in oceanic plates
  6. 9. energy that travels as vibrations on and in Earth; there are three types of seismic waves: primary waves (P waves), secondary waves (S waves), and surface waves
  7. 10. a small, steep-sided volcano that erupts gas rich, basaltic lava
